They appear to be the same size, as the sun is a very long distance away. The sun is many times larger than the moon.
Why do the earth and moon appear the same size?
The Earth and Moon appear the same size in the sky when viewed from Earth because the Moon is about 1/4 the size of Earth and is about 1/4 as far away from Earth as the Earth is from the Moon. This alignment creates the illusion that they have the same apparent size.
Do moon phases change each day?
yes, the moon phases change every day. as long as the moon keeps orbiting earth, that will happen.
Which statement best explains why the sun and the moon appear to be about the same size in the atmosphere?
The sun and the moon appear to be about the same size in the atmosphere during a solar eclipse due to a coincidence in their apparent sizes from Earth's perspective. The sun is much larger than the moon, but it is also much farther away, making them appear similar in size when viewed from Earth.
Why do the sun and moon appear to be the same in size and shape?
The sun is approximately 400 times the size of the moon, however, it is also approximately 400 times farther away. This relationship cancels out and makes the sun and the moon appear observationally to be the same size on earth.
May you see the moon from last night?

Why do the sun and moon appear to be the same size in the sky?
The sun and moon appear to be the same size in the sky because of an optical illusion called the Moon Illusion. This occurs when the brain perceives the moon as larger when it is closer to the horizon compared to when it is higher in the sky.
Why should every place on Earth not be the same time?
On Earth, there are different time zones because of the position of the moon and Earth. When the moon is on one side of the Earth, on the other side it is nighttime, and vice versa. The different time zones make sure that every place on Earth experiences the same things at the same times, such as the sunset, sunrise, etc.

Why does not a solar eclipse take place on every new moon day?
Because earth's orbit around the sun, and the moon's orbit around the earth are not co-planar; they are not on the same plane.
